Bears lose Kevin White to shoulder/collarbone injury

Injuries have been the defining characteristic of Bears wide receiver Kevin White‘s NFL career and that didn’t change in the first week of the 2017 season.

White left Sunday’s game against the Falcons with a shoulder injury and Dan Graziano of ESPN reported on Sunday afternoon that the Bears fear he suffered a broken collarbone that could end his season. PFT has heard, via a league source, that it may be a shoulder blade injury rather than a collarbone, although that would also lead to a long absence.

The Bears lost last year’s top receiver Cameron Meredith to a torn ACL during the preseason.

White caught two passes for six yards before being injured. That brings him up to 21 catches for 193 yards for his career, which amounts to five games over three years after White missed all of his rookie season and most of last year.

That’s obviously not what the Bears hoped to get when they took White in the first round of the 2015 draft and now the question is whether they’ll get anything more from him before the 2017 season is over.

Actually Almost every mock draft had Raiders taking White over Coop, I say atleats 95% of people mock draft, Thank god I didnt have to relive that down like I did when Gallery was taken over That WR in Arizona #11!!!

Never got the hype at the time of this pick in the first place, but in his NFL career he’s just been too injury prone to even show if he was worth it. Time to cut your losses and move on at this point.

Come on guys. I feel a great deal of empathy for him. He has done everything to fight back from these injuries. I’m really sorry for him. That said, it doesn’t appear he’s ‘built’ for this league, but I am truly sorry for him and all his efforts. Put yourself in his cleats, he’s got to be devastated.

Friend with some inside knowledge basically said Kevin White’s bone density has been a known problem among the medical staff going back to his rookie year with those fracture in his legs. Sad that this guy’s talent will be wasted due to injuries.

I believe the Bear fans will have endure one more season of Kevin White unless they buy him out. I hope he saves his money because money because his football days are done. I don’t feel sorry for him at all……
